Special Situations & Distressed Debt
Unlocking Value in Credit Dislocations and Complex Restructurings
We help investors analyze credit opportunities arising from stress, dislocation, restructuring, and capital structure complexity. Our work covers distressed issuers, liability management exercises, restructurings, turnaround situations, covenant breaches, refinancing events, asset sales, insolvency risk, and recovery scenarios.
Our approach combines deep credit analysis, valuation, legal and structural review, recovery modeling, and event timeline tracking. By assessing enterprise value, fulcrum securities, creditor positioning, downside protection, and restructuring outcomes, we help investment teams evaluate where value may exist, how risks may unfold, and what could drive recovery or impairment across stressed and distressed situations.
Three key questions:
- Where is value within the capital structure?
- What restructuring path will likely unfold?
- What recovery outcomes emerge under different scenarios?
